I am Dev Kumar Sunuwar. I am from the Sunuwar community of Nepal. Sunuwar is one of the Fifty nine Indigenous Peoples recognized by the Nepalese Government. I was a Student of Psychology and English Literature in the First 2 years of my University Career after the School Education, but Curiosity led me to work in Indigenous Voice Newspaper as a Reporter, Having been worked in the only-one newspaper that represents the Voice of the whole Nepalese Indigenous People of Nepal for 2 years, dragged me to study the Mass Communication and Journalism replicating the Psychology.

I found myself lucky enough to be aware of that why we the indigenous People are Religiously, Culturally, Educationally discriminated, Economically Marginalized and politically oppressed in this Global village, that is why, I have dared to make my career in the field of Mass Communication, and raise awareness about this poisonous issues that ruins the society, and attempt to make prosperous, competitive and peaceful Society.

I have been selected and given the three month long, extensive and exhaustive Training on Investigative Journalism by Center for Investigative Journalism of Nepal, Associated with Himal Association, which is one of the leading Media Organization in Nepal and South Asia.
